All masks must cover both the mouth and nose of the wearer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A footnote toward the end of the order reads: \u201cWhile this Order may be enforced and CDC reserves the right to enforce through criminal penalties, CDC does not intend to rely primarily on these criminal penalties but instead strongly encourages and anticipates widespread voluntary compliance as well as support from other federal agencies in implementing additional civil measures enforcing the provisions of this order, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with President Biden\u2019s executive order of January 21, 2021 (Promoting COVID-19 Safety In Domestic and International Travel).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CDC\u2019s order takes an even stronger stance than Biden did earlier this month when he signed an executive order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-signs-order-requiring-travelers-to-wear-face-masks\">requiring travelers to wear face masks<\/a>. Before that order was signed, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain had circulated a memo saying Biden planned to mandate masks while on federal property and when traveling between states, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joe-biden-donald-trump-politics-coronavirus-pandemic-ron-klain-4b1bf78136b2b12392dcc16a7e4aad7f\">reported<\/a> the Associated Press.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CDC reportedly proposed an order similar to the one that will take affect on Monday during the Trump administration, but the White House coronavirus task force decided against discussing it as a potential option, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/09\/health\/coronavirus-covid-masks-cdc.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">according<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to The New York Times, which cited two federal health officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe approach the task force has taken with any mask mandate is, the response in New York City is different than Montana, or Tuscaloosa, Alabama,\u201d one official told the news agency at the time. \u201cLocal and state authorities need to determine the best approach for their responsive effort depending on how the coronavirus is impacting their area.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
